Phylogenetic Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Isolated from Pregnant Iraqi Women
Abstract: The aims of this study were to explore as well as follow down the SARS-CoV-2 patients in Iraq using modern molecular and phylogenetic. We have studied thirty five definite cases of COVID-19 pregnant patients for the phylogenetic evaluation of the SARSCoV-2 in Iraq. The main genes of spike (s) and ?RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) genes? were got amplified via one-step RT-PCR then sequenced based on Sanger sequencing method. Bioedit and Mega bioinformatics software were applied for both sequences alignments and phylogenetic relationship building up frame. The results indicated a possible similarity flanked by Iraqi and Chinese incoming strains.
